Valero Shuts Down Benicia Refinery – Will California’s Gas Prices Skyrocket?

Valero Drops a Bombshell! The oil giant has announced plans to shut down its Benicia refinery by April 2026, sending shockwaves through California's already fragile fuel market. Why? California's ever-tightening environmental regulations and rising operational costs are pushing out the energy providers we rely on.

🏭 Refinery Breakdown:
📍 Location: Benicia, CA
⛽ Output: ~145,000 barrels of crude processed daily
💼 Jobs: Over 400 employees impacted
🔧 Supplies a huge chunk of California’s gasoline and asphalt

💥 What This Means:
📈 Expect gas prices to surge in NorCal and beyond
🏗️ More strain on supply chains and infrastructure
🌱 Another sign that California’s “green push” is pushing people out

⚖️ Legal Firestorm Brewing:
Valero is also taking on the EPA, challenging California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule in a case headed for the Supreme Court. This is just the beginning of a national showdown over energy policy.

📢 WATCH and SHARE to expose what’s really happening behind the scenes of California’s fuel future.
